Sealed Edges (Fabseal)
For applications where a high degree of hygiene is necessary, such as in the food industry, conveyor belts can be fitted with FabsealĀ® sealed edges.
To fit FabsealĀ® a thermoplastic material, like PVC, PU or PE is sealed to the side of the belt by use of a special technique. In this manner, the fabric within the belt is completely sealed off and as a result protected against penetrating moisture and contamination by microbes, enabling improved hygiene control during the production process. This contributes to a longer service life of the belt and a better, consistent quality of your product, even during processes in which gauze belts are used.
Narviflex can apply FabsealĀ® sealed edges on:
PVC conveyor belts
PU conveyor belts
PE conveyor belts
Gauze belts
The advantages
FabsealĀ® sealed edges contribute to a reduction of your operational costs. Advantages include:
Risk of fraying fabric edges in the conveyor belt is ruled out.
No penetration of bacteria in the fabric; the belt is more hygienic.
No penetration of chemicals in the fabric and therefore no risk of delamination of the belt.
Belts fitted with FabsealĀ® can be cleaned easily, thoroughly and quickly
